For this role, the key skills would typically include a balanced mix of technical capability, problem‑solving and communication skills, reflecting both the delivery and customer‑facing elements of the work.
From a technical perspective, you would be expected to demonstrate experience in installing, configuring and testing software applications, with a good understanding of data builds and deployment processes. Strong troubleshooting skills are important, along with the ability to follow technical specifications and apply structured testing to ensure solutions meet agreed requirements.
